"I also tallied the resources you brought in sacks. To me, these things are very useful."
"Also, I heard about you from Grand Master Jean... Your ability is amazing."
Speaking of this, Albedo paused.
Hearing Albedo's words, Kael raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What did Grand Master Jean tell you?"
Albedo smiled. "Nothing much. Just... for example, you possess powerful strength without a Vision, resolving the Stormterror crisis in the middle of the night. On behalf of Mondstadt, I thank you for your contribution. Now you are also an Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius."
Hearing this, Kael fell silent abruptly.
His gaze lingered on Albedo's face for a moment.
Then he smiled gently. "I see... You are interested in my power?"
Albedo smiled slightly, not answering directly, but said calmly, "To be precise, I am interested in all unknown things."
"The power in you does not conform to the common sense of this world."
Albedo spoke slowly, his voice gentle and rational. "As an alchemist, exploring the unknown is my duty... So, I hope to chat with you."
"If it can perfect my research, that would be best."
"By the way, I'll also give you some rewards. I heard from the Adventurers' Guild that you want to customize a weapon."
"En."
Hearing this, Kael tapped the table lightly, squinting at Albedo in front of him. "Sounds like you want to research me?"
Albedo shook his head. "Research sounds too rigid. I prefer to call it—communication."
"Because I found that some things, if enhanced by your power, Mr. Kael, will have great effects."
"I need your help with some things, Mr. Kael."
"En."
Hearing this, Kael nodded. "Sure."
"Then let's change the place to talk."
Albedo smiled. "Let's go to my alchemy workshop."
Saying this, under Albedo's lead, Kael, Fischl, and the others walked out of Good Hunter.
Paimon, Lumine, and Barbara also followed.
Besides them, there were disappointed adventurers in Good Hunter.
They wanted to see what Mr. Albedo would bring out.
Unexpectedly, they didn't communicate here.
Under Albedo's lead...
They crossed the streets of Mondstadt and walked toward Albedo's alchemy workshop.
It was the newly built alchemy workshop.
Located in a corner of Mondstadt City.
Although the environment was not as solemn as the Knights' Headquarters, it revealed a unique academic atmosphere.
Walking in, various bottles and jars were arranged neatly.
Shimmering alchemy reagents were sealed in special containers. The air was filled with a faint scent of grass and wood and fluctuations of elemental energy.
Various alchemy blueprints hung on wooden racks, and unfinished experimental props were placed on the workbench.
Obviously, this was not only a place for researching alchemy, but also a place for creating the finest weapons and equipment in Mondstadt.
Kael glanced around and found that in just a few days, the interior had been filled by Albedo, showing no sign of being newly built.
Albedo led Kael to a long table full of weapons. Various weapons were placed on the table.
Swords, spears, bows and arrows, staffs, daggers, etc., flashed with cold light, revealing different elemental auras.
"These are some weapons I have crafted."
Albedo stood aside, gently stroking an exquisite longsword, smiling indifferently. "You can choose freely. See if there is anything suitable. If not, I can customize one for you."
Kael glanced around, his gaze lingering on these sharp weapons for a moment.
Then he shook his head gently. "As for weapons... I don't need one right now."
Now that the Trailblazer's Baseball Bat was in hand, he didn't need a sword anymore.
"Don't need one?"
Hearing Kael's words, Albedo was stunned.
He heard from the Adventurers' Guild that Kael specifically instructed the Guild to customize a sword.
He had even brought out his treasured swords from the past.
As a result, Kael didn't want it now?
Glancing at the indifference in Kael's eyes, Albedo knew Kael seemed not to care about weapons.
Thinking for a moment, Albedo said, "In that case, let's talk about another reward."
Saying this, Albedo took out a black alchemy stone from the workbench and handed it to Kael. "This is a prototype of storage equipment. I can customize an alchemy storage device for you to facilitate item storage."
"What kind of storage form do you want?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Albedo's words, Kael looked surprised. "Is the value of this Whopperflower corpse so great? Can it be exchanged for alchemy storage equipment?"
You have to know, alchemy equipment capable of storing things couldn't be obtained with a few million Mora.
For alchemists, it wasn't a common item either.
A Whopperflower corpse, at most, was worth a million Mora.
Counting those sack resources, it wouldn't exceed two million Mora at most.
Trying to customize a storage alchemy device wouldn't be so simple.
Especially one refined by Albedo.
Hearing Kael's words, Albedo smiled lightly, looking gentle. "This storage alchemy device is not just for the value of the Whopperflower, but also to thank you for your contribution to Mondstadt."
Speaking of this, Albedo paused, looking at Kael seriously. "Without you, the Stormterror crisis wouldn't have ended so quickly. I think this thank-you gift is nothing."
Kael raised an eyebrow slightly, pondered for a moment, smiled, and nodded. "In that case, I won't refuse this kindness."
"For the style of the storage equipment, see if you can make a ring."
"A ring?"
Hearing this, Albedo paused, pondering. "A bit difficult. The smaller the alchemy storage equipment, the more time and alchemy skill it tests. For me, the latter is not a problem, but for the former, you have to wait."
"It doesn't have to be a ring."
Hearing Albedo's words, Kael said, "Bracelet, pendant, anything is fine."
"I understand."
Hearing this, Albedo nodded gently.
And Kael glanced at Fischl beside him and continued, "Since I don't need a weapon, let Fischl choose one. Fischl, see if there's anything suitable?"
Fischl was just listening quietly at the side.
Unexpectedly, Kael suddenly gave this opportunity to her. She was stunned for a moment.
"Eh?"
Fischl widened her purple pupils, looking at Kael in surprise, seemingly incredulous.
Immediately after, surprise turned into ecstasy.
She crossed her arms and raised her chin slightly. "Hmph hmph! I am the Princess of the Night, naturally I need a divine bow compatible with me to condense my endless thunder power! Since thou hast yielded this opportunity to me... I shall gladly accept it!"
But despite pretending to be matter-of-course, Fischl's eyes flashed with unconcealable joy and emotion.
Her gaze swept over the weapons on the table quickly, and she soon locked onto a bow.
Just as she wanted to pick it up, she thought for a moment and didn't.
Instead, she looked at Albedo and said, "Can you customize a bow and arrow capable of bearing Electro power for this Prinzessin? Focus on crafting it."
Hearing Kael and Fischl's words, Albedo was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting Kael to give the weapon customization opportunity to Fischl.
Nor did he expect Fischl to have such a request.
But soon, he nodded gently. "Of course."
Then he reached out and picked up an unfinished bow on the table, examining it carefully. "The production of element-bearing bows is relatively complex and requires stable elemental reconciliation combined with alchemy... However, judging by your Electro ability, I can inlay elemental crystals on the bow body to make it resonate better."
"Besides, I can also add some special structures to make the bow faster and more powerful."
Albedo looked up at Fischl. "Do you have any special requirements?"
Fischl pondered slightly, then said in a chuunibyou tone, "The arrow of this Prinzessin must carry the thunder of judgment and accurately strike the enemy of darkness!"
"Besides, the appearance must be gorgeous, befitting the identity of this Prinzessin!"
Seeing this, Kael couldn't help but chuckle.
Albedo thought seriously for a moment and nodded. "No problem. I will try my best to meet your requirements for the weapon."
"Great!"
Fischl's eyes lit up, the corner of her mouth rising slightly, obviously in a very good mood.
"Traveler, as the Honorary Knight of Mondstadt who saved Mondstadt, you can also choose one."
Albedo looked at Lumine, Paimon, and Barbara again, smiling. "And Miss Barbara."
"Ah? I don't need it."
Hearing Albedo's words, Barbara was stunned, waving her hand quickly. "I rarely fight and don't need weapons. Don't waste Mr. Albedo's weapons."
"Umm, we don't need anything either."
Lumine also scratched her head, looking at these weapons in front of her, feeling she didn't want anything.
She had a one-handed sword.
As for other weapons, she didn't have the feel for them, so she didn't need them.
"I understand."
Hearing this, Albedo didn't insist.
Immediately, Albedo and Kael continued to chat, and took out some things for Kael to help enhance.
Then he sealed those things, seemingly using them as research materials.
After doing all this, Albedo personally sent Kael and the others out of the alchemy workshop.
After bidding farewell to Kael, Albedo couldn't wait to return to the workshop to get busy.
"Let's go. Have dinner, then go back and rest well. Gather at the Adventurers' Guild tomorrow morning."
Seeing this, Kael spoke, announcing the plan. "When you go back, prepare more sacks."
"The resources we want to load tomorrow will definitely be many."
"Mm-hmm, understood."
Hearing Kael's words, Lumine and the others nodded immediately.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lumine tilted her head, scanning Kael back and forth, asking suspiciously, "Kael, where is your cool gun?"
You have to know, last night, Kael used that gun.
Why is it gone now?
Hearing Lumine's words, Paimon looked over in surprise. "Right, right! I felt something was missing on Kael. So it was that big gun!"
Fischl and Barbara also looked over curiously, not understanding what Lumine and Paimon were saying.
Hearing this, Kael smiled gently. "Of course I put it away."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Paimon was surprised. "You have storage equipment?"
"Hmm?"
Fischl looked at Kael suspiciously.
She didn't remember Kael having precious storage devices.
"My storage is very small, can only store weapons. No more space."
Kael shook his head and explained.
In fact, he could summon this thing at any time.
If not used, he could directly let this weapon be stored.
Kael suspected it was the space given by this Retarded System.
Given the weapon, being able to store and retrieve it at will wasn't surprising.
But only weapons.
He couldn't store or retrieve other things at all.
"I see."
Hearing this, Lumine and Paimon suddenly realized.
"Alright, let's go."
Kael said, "You shouldn't need dinner either. You just ate."
"Hehe, already very full."
Hearing Kael's words, Paimon touched her stomach embarrassedly.
Just now at Good Hunter, she stuffed a lot of roasted meat into her stomach.
"Then go back and rest well."
"Mm-hmm."
Lumine nodded, then left with Paimon.
Fischl put her hands on her hips. "Hmph hmph. In tomorrow's battle, this Prinzessin shall definitely lend thee a hand!"
Seeing this, Kael looked at Barbara. "Time to go back. I'll send you back to the Cathedral first."
"En!"
Barbara was slightly stunned, then nodded blushing, gently tucking her hair behind her ear, tone carrying a trace of shyness. "Then sorry to trouble you."
Although Barbara wanted to say no need for such trouble, she didn't refuse.
Immediately Kael and the others sent Barbara to the entrance of the Cathedral.
"See you tomorrow."
Fischl also narrowed her eyes, bid farewell to Kael, and went back.
Seeing this, Kael nodded and walked toward his home.
At this time, moonlight spilled on the streets of Mondstadt. The air was filled with the scent of the night breeze. Lights on the street embellished this quiet night.
After returning, Kael moved his mind immediately.
In the next second, a looming black light flashed in the air.
Immediately after, a black baseball bat slowly floated in his palm.
The surface of the bat was inlaid with low-key but complex geometric patterns, faintly revealing a sense of mystery.
The sheath at the grip was wrapped with exquisite metal decorations, looking ordinary, but giving a feeling of indestructibility.
Kael gently held the baseball bat, shook his wrist, feeling the steady touch from the bat.
"Looks unremarkable."
Kael felt the weapon in his hand, murmuring in a low voice, a trace of playfulness in his eyes.
As the Trailblazer's weapon, this baseball bat might be one of the most ridiculous weapons he had ever seen.
It wasn't sharp like a sword.
Nor could it shoot long-range like a gun.
But its characteristics were outrageously strong.
Indestructible.
No matter what method was used to attack, no trace would be left on the bat.
Even in battles with Pathstriders' weapons, or even Lord Ravagers, it wouldn't be damaged at all.
This thing was truly heaven-defying.
Whether fighting in Belobog or against Phantylia on the Luofu, this thing was truly indestructible.
Just the description was simply "Able to bear all power."
Making Kael doubt if this thing had a limit.
With a thought, Kael raised his other hand, a faint red glow lighting up his palm.
It was Clara's Path Skill.
He planned to enhance this baseball bat directly to see if it could stack.
Vmmm—
Black-red radiance entangled the baseball bat like silk threads, like flames licking the bat body.
Click—
A crisp sound came from the air, as if some weapon was enhanced to the limit and structural changes occurred.
However, the baseball bat still didn't change at all.
Not only did it not change, but not even a trace of pattern on the surface was distorted.
Even the energy impact generated by the enhancement was swallowed directly by this baseball bat, causing no fluctuation.
"Really nice."
Kael narrowed his eyes.
If it were an ordinary weapon, even the sturdiest alchemy elemental weapon, under this level of enhancement, its strength would be forcibly increased, or even crumble from overload.
However, this baseball bat was still intact, not even leaving a trace of enhancement marks.
Its material far exceeded all known weapons in this world.
Kael gripped the baseball bat, feeling the power of the bat, wishing he could swing it on the spot.
If it were an ordinary weapon, under the blessing of Clara's ability, it would have exploded into countless fragments.
But this baseball bat didn't care about the enhancement effect at all.
